UPS LONG-TERM INCENTIVE PERFORMANCE PROGRAM
Terms and Conditions
1. | Establishment, Objectives and Duration. |
1.1 | Establishment of the Program and Effective Date. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of United Parcel Service, Inc. (Committee) hereby establishes this Long-Term Incentive Performance Program (LTIP) to provide for LTIP Awards in the form of RPUs pursuant to Article 9 of the United Parcel Service, Inc. 2009 Omnibus Incentive Compensation Plan, as amended from time to time, and any successor plan (ICP). This document sets forth the rules under which LTIP Awards shall be made and administered. Capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth in the ICP or in Section 9 herein. |
The LTIP shall be effective as of January 1, 2012 (LTIP Effective Date).
1.2 | Objectives of the LTIP. The objectives of LTIP are to promote continuity in management and provide incentives to key managers. |
1.3 | Duration of the Program. The LTIP shall commence on the LTIP Effective Date and shall remain in effect, subject to the right of the Committee to amend or terminate the LTIP at any time pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof. |
2. | Administration. |
2.1 | Authority of the Committee. The LTIP will be administered by the Committee, which shall have the same power and authority to administer the LTIP as it does to administer the ICP. |
2.2 | Decisions Binding. All decisions of the Committee shall be final, conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, its stockholders, any Eligible Employee, and their estates and beneficiaries. |
3. | Eligibility for Awards. Only an Eligible Employee shall be eligible to be considered for an LTIP Award. The UPS Salary Committee shall have broad discretion to determine the eligibility criteria for Eligible Employees. The receipt of an LTIP Award in any year does not entitle an individual to an award in any subsequent year. |
4. | LTIP Awards. The UPS Salary Committee makes a recommendation as to the LTIP awards to be granted to Eligible Employees, based primarily on the recommendation of their district, region and corporate group managers. The Committee will make the grant of LTIP Awards based on the recommendations of the UPS Salary Committee. |
4.1 | Target LTIP Award Percentage. An Eligible Employees Target LTIP Award Percentage is determined by the Committee based on his or her level of management as of the Grant Date. |
4.2 | Form of Award. A LTIP Award shall be made in the form of RPUs pursuant to Article 9 of the ICP. The target number of RPUs is based on the product of the Target LTIP Award Percentage and the Eligible Employees Annualized Base Salary divided by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the Grant Date. The total target number of RPUs may be divided into one or more Performance Measurement Tranches. |
4.3 | Performance Measurement Tranches. |
4.3.1 | General. When an Eligible Employee receives an LTIP Award, he or she shall receive an LTIP Award Document that sets forth the target number of RPUs for the entire LTIP Cycle, the target number of RPUs for each Performance Measurement Tranche and such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine. The number of RPUs actually earned for each Performance Measurement Tranche shall be determined after the end of the relevant performance period based on the achievement of specific performance targets, including, if applicable, a Performance Target Matrix, established for that period by the Committee in accordance with Section 5.1. The Committee may use the same or different performance targets and matrixes for each Performance Measurement Tranche in an LTIP Cycle. For example, the performance goal for one or more Performance Measurement Tranches could be growth in consolidated revenues and consolidated operating return on invested capital while the performance goal for another Performance Measurement Tranche in the same LTIP Cycle could be based on earnings per share. Performance targets or matrixes shall be attached to the LTIP Award Documents or otherwise provided to Eligible Employees. |
4.3.2 | Award Determination. For each Performance Measurement Tranche, the Committee shall review and approve the extent to which the pre-established performance targets have been achieved as described in Section 5.2. One-hundred percent (100%) of the target number of RPUs for the Performance Measurement Tranche shall be credited to an Eligible Employees LTIP Account upon 100% achievement of the performance targets for the Performance Measurement Tranche. In establishing the performance targets and matrixes in accordance with Section 5.1, the Committee also may authorize payment of a percentage less than or more than 100% of the target number of RPUs for the Performance Measurement Tranche based on achievement of performance targets at a percentage less than or more than, respectively, 100%. |
4.3.3 | DEUs. An Eligible Employees LTIP Account will be promptly credited with DEUs attributable to the RPUs that have been credited to his or her LTIP Account. |
